We’re on Day 3 of Trump's FORTH shutdown, and GOP Senators are debating whether to go party at a $600/night fundraiser at a luxury golf & beach resort with rich donors.

Government workers get fired or furloughed as Republican senators attend a luxury fundraising weekend.

Voting YES on Prop 50 is imperative to save our democracy!

These Republicans are knocking on doors to spread lies about Prop 50.

It's essential that we're out there knocking doors, too.

While you and I are worried about our healthcare premiums going up, the cuts to Medicaid that will force so many rural hospitals to close, making sure that those serving our country get paid...

Odd, how MAGA couldn't draw enough attention to imaginary children being molested in #Pizzagate, but when it comes to *real* children being molested in #Epsteingate, they desperately want our attention to be elsewhere.

We’ve gotten several messages that the Trump administration has tampered with federal employees’ email systems, making some people’s automatic Out of Office replies blame the government shutdown on the “radical left.” This was done without the employees’ knowledge.

If you woke up every morning, stepped on your little stool, looked in the mirror, and had Stephen Miller looking back at you, you'd be an angry little man too.

That money is now going to pay for free college, free school meals, better roads, and more.

"Be careful" is just code for "protect the rich." Who do these politicians work for? Not you.

The candidate for New Jersey Lt. Governor said that he'd "be careful" about taxing millionaires.

Massachusetts wasn't careful and collected $2 BILLION more than expected while the number of millionaires went UP 38%.

Leave who alone? The millions of people that are going to lose healthcare because republicans care more about billionaires?

Or the Epstein survivors who want the files release and those responsible held accountable?

I asked Trump's former OMB director Mick Mulvaney to acknowledge it's a lie that undocumented immigrants get ACA subsidies (they don't), and he ended the interview.

"Would you agree that not a single dime of ACA subsidies goes toward undocumented immigrants?"

"I'm not gonna do this anymore."

National Weather Service at ‘breaking point’ as storm approaches

The National Weather Service is struggling to maintain its forecasting operations due to significant staffing cuts under the Trump administration.

With nearly 600 National Weather Service employees gone this year, as many as left in the previous five years combined, some forecast offices can’t operate overnight, raising urgent questions about public safety as Trump adds political loyalty tests to new hires.

Easy ask: don’t use Monster.com or Ziprecruiter if you’re in the job market. Also don’t apply to become an ICE agent, goes without saying. ICE is paying up to $50,000 signing bonus which means WE the taxpayers are paying for those signing bonuses #DefundICE #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

Not only did I make a difference with those 11 people, but I got every one of them to agree to tell their friends & family to vote yes and to either volunteer or ask their friends if they want to volunteer.

Will you?

Today I did something incredibly empowering, SUPER fun...thrilling actually.

It was 100% free & made me feel like a hero. I did it right from my computer & maintained total privacy.

You can do it, too!

I called voters & convinced 11 people who knew nothing or were confused to vote YES ON PROP 50.

Good news, the EPA reversed a decision to allow forever chemicals in drinking water. Why? Turns out that EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin was a Congressman from Long Island, where PFAS pollution is widespread. Sad that good news is not the EPA protecting people, it’s just not doing something awful.

And ESPN (owned by Disney) is also seeking approval to buy the NFL Network.

So what does that mean? It means these media giants have every reason to fall in line.

KEEP UP THE PRESSURE. Jimmy Kimmel is coming back, but there’s a bigger picture here.

Nexstar and Sinclair own the most local ABC stations in the country. Both are waiting on FCC approvals for business deals that could shape their future.

BREAKING: Trump's head of Social Security says raising the retirement age "will be considered."

That's a betrayal of Trump's campaign promise to protect Social Security.
